Drug Policy Resources

Picture
This page will provide a number of resources around drug policy and drug use in today's world. We hope to provide a variety of views, and the links provided here may not be the views of TB/HIV Care Association or any of the other individuals or organisations that are involved in the RUN2016 South African Drug Policy Week.

This page will be upgraded during the next few months and beyond the conference. It will also be used to post presentations and publications after the conference, so please refer back to it regularly.

If you would like to have a resource added here, please e-mail shaun@tbhivcare.org. Please note that we do not advertise any services, products or medications, although we may provide links to various drug policy action campaigns..
